I have been using msn live for months now and its been great.. then yesterday I clicked to open it and nothing came up when i looked in task manager it shows msnmmsgr.exe under processes yet messenger never pops up.. uninstalled it.. cleared all of my cache .. ran windowwasher.. checked to make sure i didnt have  anything like sweetim or smiley central.. ran antispyware programs then went to msn live site and redownoladed it and reinstalled it and same thing is happeneing.. I did a restore point in xp to bring me back 3 days ago when it was working fine but that didnt help either.. and I miss it ... using the old windows messenger sucks. any ideas??
thanks

check you have msimg32.dll in your C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger folder, and check you installed the latest version.

i checked there and no i do not have msimg32.dll in your C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger folder.. how can i get that?? i have reinstalled and tried repair... also the version i have installed is 8.0.0812.00
thank you fopr your help..

The MSIMG32.dll is hidden in the "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger" so you will need to enable the option to show hidden files, are you sure you got that option enabled?

I will attach MSIMG32.dll to this post. You can download it and put it in your "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger" folder.

If that still doesn't work, I suggest you to download and install the newest version of WLM, 8.1. I think you can download it here:

sorry how do i get the attahment of the dll??

I wasn't allowed to upload the DLL.
So here is Rapidshare mirror: http://rapidshare.com/files/24428170/msimg32.dll.html
I know rapidshare is slow, but it works.

Have a nice day yourself,

Yes PE files isn't allowed,but you can zip and upload them...

There is a reason why you shouldn't allow PE files. Then you shouldn't zip them either.

To upload a PE file is the same to upload a ZIP with a PE file inside.
